Muppet Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 (edited) Needs must and this is the first that I'm reluctantly having to sell. It's a USA Fender Precision 1983 in rare Sienna Sunburst and one of the last models to come out of Fullerton. All original (hence single ply white scratchplate and white pick up covers). Excellent condition for year with a ding on the lower edge and slight buckle rash as the pics show. It comes with a new Fender tweed gigbag. This was previously owned by Homer so that should tell you that this is one quality bass and I believe has also been tried by other Basschat members in the past who will vouch for it's sound. I'm looking at £700. No trades or "I promise to pay in six months time maybe when I get paid after I have sold my Squier and I get me birthday money".

Hutton Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 I can vouch for the 80s Fullerton basses being superb. I also have an 83. This is a great bargain for somebody! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wateroftyne Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 If I didn't have enough P's already, I'd be all over this like a dog eating broth. It's a lovely looking thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne58 Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 I can vouch for this one, as I collected when Homer bought it. Very nice example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Fudge Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Is it a thin and wide neck, or a fat and wide 70's feel. Hope this makes sense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muppet Posted February 10, 2008 Author Share Posted February 10, 2008 Erm, depends on what part you consider thin/fat and what part you consider wide I guess! Width across the fretboard feels pretty much the same as my 70s Precision did. It feels thinner (from the back of the neck to the front of the fretboard) then my current 1996 Precisions. The radius of the neck seems bigger than my other Ps, giving it a flatter feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Nicko Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Hi Muppet, I think I've sent you an e-mail, but I'm not totally sure (I hate computers!) Nice Bass you have... Nick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
